The Magnificent Hummingbird (Eugenes fulgens) is a large hummingbird. It is the only member of the genus Eugenes, although the northern, nominate subspecies E. f. fulgens has on occasion been separated from the larger, southern race of Costa Rica and Panama, E. f. spectabilis,[2] as Rivoli's Hummingbird.
Northern birds of dry forests are trapliners, foraging at many small flower patches over the course of the day, while southern birds of humid forests tend to be more territorial.[3]
